Intensive forestry systems and breeding programs often include either native aspen or
hybrid poplar clones, and performance and trait evaluations are mostly made within these …

We report a potential role of endogenous cytokinin supply in priming plant defense against
herbivory. Cytokinin priming significantly reduced weight gain by insect larvae. Unlike …

Cellulose, the most abundant constituent material of the plant cell walls, is a major structural
component of plant biomass. Manipulating cellulose synthesis (CesA) genes by genetic …

Understanding the regulation of plant responses to drought and low nitrogen (N) stresses is
necessary to improve N use in water-limited lands, maintaining the sustainable and healthy …

Physiological responses to water stress in hybrid poplar (INRA 7171-B4, Populus tremula×
P. alba L.) lines transformed to overexpress a pine cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1) …

Species delimitation in tree species is notoriously challenging due to shared polymorphisms
among species. An integrative survey that considers multiple operational criteria is a …

Leaf, petiole and root of triploid (Populus alba× P. glandulosa)× P. tomentosa were cultured
on a medium containing benzyladenine (BA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) either alone …

It is known that heavy metals are taken up and translocated by plants to different degrees.
Phytoremediation, the use of plants to decontaminate soil by taking up heavy metals, shows …

The genus Populus features a genetically controlled sex determination system, located on
chromosome 19. However, different Populus species vary in the position of the sex‐linked …

Background Evolutionary theory suggests that males and females may evolve sexually
dimorphic phenotypic and biochemical traits concordant with each sex having different …
